There's more action to come from the Championship on Tuesday night with a Lancashire derby to look forward to as Blackburn Rovers host rivals Burnley.
Burnley might have already secured promotion back to the Premier League at the first time of asking but they have been stuttering in their bid to secure the Championship trophy.
Four draws in a row have left Blackburn in desperate need of a win to reach the play-offs and it's that added drive that might get them the spoils on Tuesday night at Ewood Park.
Blackburn vs Burnley Betting Tips
- Blackburn Rovers to win @ 5/2
- #PickYourPunt - Ben Brereton Diaz to score anytime and Lewis Travis carded @ 11/2
Championship frontrunners Burnley are the favourites going into this encounter at 23/20 to claim the three points and the title. Blackburn are available at 5/2 for the win and the draw on the night is 9/4.
Team news
Blackburn boss Jon Dahl Tomasson has no fresh injury concerns from the side that were held to a 1-1 draw last time out in another Lancashire derby at Preston North End.
As for Burnley boss Vincent Kompany, Nathan Tella has been recovering from a hip injury but Tuesday's game might come too soon for the Clarets winger.
Kompany might well tweak his line-up from the side that suffered a 2-1 home defeat last time out at home to Queens Park Rangers.
The former Manchester City captain might look to bring the attacking pair of Michael Obafemi and Jay Rodriguez back into the starting line-up to face Rovers.

Blackburn Rovers to win @ 5/2
With just one defeat in their last nine home games in the Championship, Rovers have made Ewood Park a tough place to go to of late.
Burnley have been stuttering in their bid to get over the line for the title and their season could be set to conclude with a whimper, even though their main objective of promotion has been accomplished.
The onus is on Blackburn to get the points with their battle for a top-six finish looking set to go down to the wire.
With Burnley going three games without a win, it looks like a good time to take on the frontrunners and Rovers are capable of landing the vital three points. A 1-0 win in the correct score market is available at 9/1.

#PickYourPunt - Ben Brereton Diaz to score anytime and Lewis Travis carded @ 11/2
Ben Brereton Diaz's future at Ewood Park looks uncertain but a long-awaited Premier League return for Blackburn might well see the forward stay with the Lancashire outfit for next season.
Diaz is Rovers' top goalscorer in the Championship this season with 12 goals to his name and could well get on the scoresheet once again against Burnley.
As a second selection with Betfred's #PickYourPunt, look to Lewis Travis in the card markets.
The 25-year-old has not been shy of a rough challenge or two this season, as his 10 yellow cards in the Championship would indicate.
In a derby game against rivals Burnley, it would be no shock to see Travis add to his card collection.
